Re: [OT] Re: ActionForwards, et al (was SuccessAction)
And to add another pedantic log to the fire... :) Quoted from dictionary.com because it's easier than looking it up in a real text: --- et al adv 1: used as an abbreviation of `et alii' (masc. plural) or `et aliae' (fem. plural) or `et alia' (neut. plural) when referring to a number of people [syn: et al., and others] 2: used as an abbreviation of `et alibi' when referring to other occurrences in a text [syn: et al., and elsewhere] I think the second one fits. I always fidget about the missing period personally, but I'm working through those issues. ;) -Paul Micael wrote: Sigh! I cannot stand bad grammar, so once again I must remind my nerd friends that et al strictly applies to people, and that an ActionForward, while dear to my heart, is just not a person. LOL! I hope you take this as interesting and new knowledge and not as a pain in the patoosh. Bye 'd bye! At 08:40 PM 8/12/2003 +0100, Peter A.

What I am getting at here, this default implementation could be extended by normal web application developers, say to add in security profile information. Non-trival web application, say framework developers like myself, would write implementation of the interface. In Expresso there are two contextes ( ControllerRequest and ControllerResponse) abstractions of the web servlet request and servlet response. We can write controller that run outside of the web app environment. I think this is where you are going with the ActionContext interface. If the interface was supposed to be environment free what would this interface be? -- Peter Pilgrim __ _ _ _ / //__ // ___// ___/ + Serverside Java / /___/ // /__ / /__ + Struts / // ___// ___// ___/ + Expresso Committer __/ // /__ / /__ / /__ + Independent Contractor /___/////// + Intrinsic Motivation On Line Resume || \\=== `` http://www.xenonsoft.demon.co.uk/no-it-striker.html '' - To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] LEGAL NOTICE This electronic mail transmission and any accompanying documents contain information belonging to the sender which may be confidential and legally privileged.

-Original Message- From: Micael [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Hi, Peter, Yah, there are some that don't like free knowledge or listening. So there was no way to not offend some people. I appreciate that. Why I don't know, and I don't need to know. But, I have a watch. LOL. Micael It would appear to me that your talent for English grammar is not being put to good use. Apparently you did waste your education at college. I dont know if you are idling away in the Struts developer mailing list or if you are now the new ``Mark'' out-of-topic, Friday guy in this list. ( One of the reason why I did not resubscribe to the struts-user list after my holiday, I got really tired of the OT/FRIDAY stuff, but I digress ) We, article writers, might need somebody to correct the grammar in works. I strongly suggest you get yourself a copy of open office so that you pass over out review copy. LOL Seriously I type way to fast for my mind. I hereby solemnly promise to take time to ruminate, ponder, and think imaginatively before I answer another Struts design email.
